The Schofield Revolver is a silver plated single-action six-shot revolver and one of the most powerful handguns in the game, sometimes killing an NPC with 1 shot to the chest or head. Even a simple shot to the lower leg can have a devastating effect. Combined with sheer stopping power, the Schofield also has decent range of around 50 yards.

In Multiplayer, the Schofield seems to lose its power against other players, requiring almost an entire cylinder to kill one at medium to long range. Its accuracy is unscathed however, and a well placed shot to the head will drop a player instantly.

The Schofield Revolver is great for dead eye and sharpshooter challenges, as one small round is fired out of this handgun.

During the game when the player enters Mexico, most civilians and outlaws switch from Cattlemans to Schofields.

If the player looks closely at the hammer right after they reload, it's left in the uncocked position until they shoot the first shot. Once the player shoots, the hammer becomes cocked and will be cocked back for the remainder of the rounds in the cylinder or at least until they reload, which is entirely incorrect for a single-action revolver. This odd occurrence affects all firearms with a visible hammer in single and multiplayer.

The .45 Schofield cartridge was the same diameter as the longer .45 Colt of the M1873 Single Action Army (the game's Cattleman Revolver), so that Schofield ammunition could be fired from a Peacemaker, at the cost of reduced power, but not vice-versa.

In the Game Of The Year Edition, if the player turns golden guns on before starting The Gunslinger's Tragedy, the Schofield will not become golden until after the mission is completed.
